Woakes wins it for Warwickshire
Chris Woakes completed the best all-round performance of his career as Warwickshire saw off relegation rivals Kent inside three days in a vital LV= County Championship Division One clash at Edgbaston.
The 21-year-old England Lions seamer took 11 wickets in a match for the first time and also contributed 81 with the bat to give his side victory by 95 runs after less than two hours' play on the third morning.
Neil Carter reached 50 Championship wickets for the first time in 10 county cricket seasons and in all the new-ball partners shared 19 as Kent were dismissed for 111 and 228.
In the two innings eight batsmen were out for ducks, although Martin van Jaarsveld redeemed himself with a century from 147 balls at the second attempt.
Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 343 by Durham, a first-innings deficit of 29 runs, as they sought to build on their 16-point lead at the Championship summit.
The visitors secured three batting points at Chester-le-Street after a tail-end wag.
Darren Pattinson dug in for 19 in over an hour and a half as the last three wickets added 84, Paul Franks (26) and Luke Fletcher (23 not out) adding useful quick runs at the other end.
Ben Harmison took two wickets to follow on from Liam Plunkett's three for 66. Durham then reached 12 for no wicket at lunch.
Hampshire reached 85 for two on the third morning as they sought a way back into the match against Lancashire at Liverpool.
Resuming at 15 for no wicket, still 223 runs adrift of Lancashire's first-innings total, they lost Michael Carberry and Phil Hughes for 17 and 11 respectively.
